Cambios celulares en el intersticio testicular del hámster (Mesocricetus auratus)durante el envejecimiento y en la regresión tras la exposición a fotoperíodo corto = Cellular changes in the testicular interstitium of hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) during aging and regression after exposure to a short photoperiod

Abstract

El intersticio testicular en hámsters (Mesocricetus auratus) envejecidos y regresados por fotoperiodo corto ha sido caracterizado. Se estudió la proliferación y la apoptosis (TUNEL +) de células intersticiales, la actividad sintética a testosterona, HSP-47 y colágeno IV (α5) de las células de Leydig y la ultraestructura. Se cálculo el volumen total de tejido conjuntivo. El envejecimiento disminuye la proliferación de pericitos. El fotoperiodo corto altera la proliferación y la apoptosis de las células intersticiales y la actividad sintética de las células de Leydig. Disminuye el tejido conjuntivo intersticial. En conclusión el intersticio testicular del hámster envejecido sufre pocas modificaciones. Un menor recambio de las células de Leydig asociado a una muerte constante de ellas, necrosis, puede causar su disminución. Tras el fotoperiodo corto los cambios en las células de Leydig son evidentes, la proliferación de los pericitos es mayor y no hay muerte celular en el intersticio. Palabras clave: testículos, intersticio testicular, célula de Leydig, macrófago, pericito, célula mioide, proliferación, apoptosis, necrosis, tejido conjuntivo, colágeno IV (α5), HSP-47. Testicular interstitium in hamster during aging and after exposure to a short photoperiod were studied. The proliferation and apoptosis of interstitial cells and presence of testosterone, HSP-47 and collagen IV (α5) in the Leydig cells were studied histochemically and semiquantitatively. The total volume of connective tissue and the ultrastructure of the interstitial cells were studied. The aging only diminished the proliferation of pericytes. The regression resulting from short photoperiod altered the proliferation and apoptosis of interstitial cells and the synthetic activity of the Leydig cells. Interstitial connective tissue was also diminished. In conclusion, the hamster testicular interstitium undergoes little modification with aging, although the decrease in the Leydig cell renewal rate and constant cell death –necrosis- may result in their diminution. In contrast, after exposure to a short photoperiod, the changes in Leydig cells are evident and pericyte proliferation is greater, while no cell death is observed in the interstitium. Key words: testes, testicular interstitium, Leydig cells, macrophages, pericytes, myoid cells, proliferation, apoptosis, necrosis, connective tissue, collagen IV (α5), HSP-47.
